Whitwood signal box by the Down Main line at Castleford controlling the junction for the Methley branch to Methley Junction. Saturday 18th April 1987
Whitwood Junction signal box opened on 27th August 1890 fitted with a 26 lever McKenzie & Holland, replacing an earlier signal box. It was extended from 22' to 28' to accommodate a 50 lever McKenzie & Holland Number 16 frame commissioned on 1st February 1906, the signal box possibly being altered from a North Eastern Railway type S1a design to a type S1b design at the same time. The Junction suffix was dropped at some time and the signal box closed on 13th September 1997, along with Castleford Gates and Castleford Station signal boxes and was replaced by signalling controlled from Castleford signal box commissioned on 15th September 1997

Hitachi 800028 arrives at Worcester Shrub Hill on 1-8-24. Though some semaphores have been replaced there is still a good selection.
The working is the 2E63 1339 Bristol Temple Meads to Worcester Foregate Street service. This is a 5-CAR unit and running 6 minutes late.
The signal box has developed a lean.

The once busy Tondu signal box is a GWR box dating back to 1894, it is a GW3 design and had 63 recorded levers in 1963.
It now mainly controls passenger services to and from Bridgend to Maesteg but occasionally freight diversions are diverted via Tondu from Margam along the Ogmore Vale line to the Garw loop when engineering work takes place on the South Wales main line.
The box still controls 17 semaphore signals most of which are on the Ogmore and Garw valley line and are rarely used.
Today the signal man will use some of those rarely used levers as he speaks to the crew of DB Cargo class 66 locomotive 66150, as we head towards the Garw loop on the Garw Valley line and we will go way past this loop, until the vegetation stopped us! only to return past the box to access the Ogmore Vale line to Margam.
This is UK Railtours excellent 'The Valley of the Witch’ railtour, the 1Z19 07.06 London Paddington-Onllwyn Washery via Tondu.

A native to the west coast of the US *except* California, the Signal Crayfish has become an invasive pest there and virtually wiped out all native crayfish. It was also introduced to Europe to restock crayfish supplies there after a plague... but it turns out to also be a carrier of said plague and joins the dubious list of introduced animals like the cane toad where a half second of forethought probably could have saved a lot of grief down the road.
Oh well...
60103 Flying Scotsman hauling The Hadrian train between Carlisle and York on Saturday July 29th 2017. Seen here just east of Haydon Bridge at around 4:50pm as it headed along the Tyne Valley line on the homeward leg of a day excursion. Drove past this location earlier in the week and could not resist returning for that vintage mainline signal.

O que dizer de Cape Town? Incrível, maravilhosa, pulsante, atraente... sim, Cape Town é tudo isso e mais um pouco. Com certeza uma das mais lindas cidades para se visitar. É uma imersão em cultura e entretenimento desde o primeiro dia.
Sobre a escola EC, as primeiras palavras que vêm à cabeça são: organização e compromisso. Super bem localizada e preocupada com os seus estudantes, organiza passeios aos pontos turísticos e atividades extraclasses que proporcionam um aprendizado mais rápido e concreto.

At this time the signal box at Dawlish was only open on summer saturdays or during an emergency, to break up the long section between Dawish Warren and Teignmouth, 19/7/80

Operating Marshalite clock traffic signal in courtyard at the RACV building in Bourke Street, Melbourne. These signals were used in parts of Melbourne from the 1930s to the 1960's. Invented by Charles Marshall in 1936, they were combined with conventional traffic lights at intersections in later years, although remained on their fixed time cycle. The section of Nepean Highway between Aspendale and Seaford had several of these signals which lasted the longest, and this is where the last of these signals was last used for traffic control.
NOTE the hands are not in proper synchranisation for two cross roads as originally intended as they point to red and green phases at the same time!

Erected as "Mouldsworth Dwarf Frame" near Chester in 1894 and closed in 1967. What is now Chinnor Signal Box was saved from destruction by enthusiast Ken Cruse and moved to a garden in Littlewick Green, Maidenhead, Berkshire, in 1975 where it stood sentinel over his 5" miniature railway for 32 years. Its saviour having sadly passed away, his family sought a fitting new home where the cabin would be used, cared for, and admired by the public. They offered it to the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway and there it is - in all it's splendor!!!.

Signal 176.3 on the approach to Wingello, showing a yellow aspect. It can show steady yellow "caution" indication as well as pulsating yellow "medium" (preliminary caution/warning) indication. There are a couple of sidings for track vehicle and emergency use plus an emergency crossover at Wingello. Normally 176.3 operates as a permissive, automatic signal (block signal), but when the electric release is taken at Wingello to unlock points there, 176.3 becomes an absolute home signal. To indicate when it is working as an automatic signal, it displays an "A" light below the main head. When the release at Wingello is taken and it becomes in effect a home signal protecting points, the A light is extinguished. It then cannot be passed at stop without authority.
Network Rail are upgrading the Signalling in the Saltley area, were once stood signal boxes, there will be nothing but memories now and none survive, the demolition of Bentley Heath Signal Box has been talked of for many years, but everybody said"they wouldn't dare" or "it would be too dangerous if the box wasnt there" well on February 10th 2008 the demolition crews arrived and this was the sight that greeted the ONLY camera i know of that witnessed this horror, the crossing in future is to controlled from Saltley Signalling Centre and watched by Camera's & Computers, but where is the human element ?
we can only watch in silence as Bentley Heath Signal Box meets a very undignified end IN MY OPINION
network-rail offered the box to anyone who wanted it but no one was interested. The Severn valley railway had a number of items from both inside the box and out side. The box name plate was saved and is safe as well as the box diagram. A lot of the bells and indicators as well as the control pedestal have gone to a central repository for spares for use at other locations.
R.I.P. BENTLEY HEATH SIGNAL BOX 10/02/2008
Brocklesby station and signal box sseen just before closure of the box in October 2015 just before York ROC took over control of the area.
The box is a curiosity, not only is it sunk into the island platform but its panel was intended as an emergency one that could switch in and out as required. The box was to close and Ulceby would have taken over the immediate area, however Brocklesby Signal Box remained and the panel took its place within the huge box, whose levers were removed and the frame boarded over, but it still remained beneath.
Signal Point was built in 1972 replacing the old station. Formerly Network Rail offices, a number of windows are now boarded up and the building lays empty. Swindon Railway Station is at the bottom and the building still has a huge BR double arrow.
